We have some excellent news for this morning!🤩 The Crowdfunding campaign of Alex Lewis, Haringey Council Bursary Programme Participant and Business Owner of Earth Ale Brewery went straight up to £3600 on the first day and is currently at £4785 👏🏻🎉 Alex aims to create an exciting new taproom and a community space for Haringey residents by renovating a double-decker bus in Blue House Yard, Woodgreen, where he would offer 11 hyper-local and delicious craft brews on tap in order to showcase the amazing beer brewed in North London. On the upper deck, he envisions summer screenings of cult classics, gigs to support local bands and language sessions or small lectures from subject experts. ✔️Moreover, the Earth Ale Brewery team plans to install solar panels on the roof and to use bio-degradable cups according to their strong beliefs. 👌🏻 The success was achieved with the help of 5 Westminster Business School - University of Westminster students as part of their ‘Entrepreneurial Practice’ module led by Nelia Koroleva.
